Taking a twist from my normal writing for a while before coming up with something heavier next time. Stay tuned.
Girl, You Don’t Have A Choice
While growing up you heard,
People Say,
Don’t walk at night,
You’ll get raped,
Don’t wear that skirt,
You’ll get harrassed,
Girl, We want you to be safe !
While growing up you heard,
People say,
Don’t study hard,
You’ll be housewife anyway,
Don’t work hard,
You’ll have a child to bear anyway,
Girl, Your life is destined !
While growing up you heard,
People Say, Don’t go against anyone,
You’ll die a virgin,
Don’t go against your husband,
You’ll be widowed,
Girl, We want you to have a life !
But, girl who are the people ?
Is it the man that,
People say,
you can’t live without their validation on your self-worth ?
Or the man you call god ?
In the end, living in a world created by the people,
you don’t have a choice !
